Lean manufacturing, lean enterprise,
or lean production, often simply, “Lean,” is a production
practice that considers the expenditure of resources for any
goal other than
the creation of value for the end customer to be wasteful,
and thus a target for elimination. Working from the
perspective of the customer who consumes a product or
service, “value” is defined as any action or process that a
customer would be willing to pay for. Ashini Segera is the
first Sri Lankan female to receive the Lean practitioner
green belt award. Here she receives the award from president
of ILM PM Takashi Sage. ILM CEO Thilak Pushpakumara was also
